All righty, for Mother's Day I typically pack up the kids and we go to church, where I usually get a piece of chocolate or a flower! Then we visit my mom and my mother in law. We give them their gifts (usually picture related stuff!) and we visit for a bit. Then we go home and I try to think of something special to make myself for dinner lol. Great giveaway!

For Mother's day we go to church and then out to lunch. Afterwards , we do something with the kids like watch a movie or go to the park. We also call Mom (she lives out of state). If I'm lucky I will get something special for the kids and hubby. : )Thanks for the great giveaway!

On Mother's Day we typically have a large family dinner at my sister's house and I will then give my mother her gift I've bought for her. Thanks for a great giveaway.-Terra H.partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com

I live far away from my daughter and far away from my other family 2000+ miles. So I will be on the phone with them most of the day nad end the day thinking about my son who is deceased.Elisabetliveleisurely [at] yhaoo.com

Great giveaway! I love Avon products! For Mothers day -I will go over my mom's and hopefully all 6 of us kids will be there. I have a sister that came up today from california.(about 1200 miles) to be with our mom. We will eat at mom's house and cook her favorites-fried chicken,okra,cabbage, mashed potatoes and gravy, raisin pie and blackberry cobbler. jacquecurl1@gmail.com

I wont be able to visit my mom this year as she lives in a different state. But I have ordered her roses,chocolate and a Bath & Body Works robe to be delivered.As for us,we will all go out to dinner and then I will open gifts made by my children that I will be able to cherish for years to come.Thank you so much for the chance to win.

We usually go to my mom's house. We would make a big dinner there with her and my grandmother and we would spend hours in the kitchen talking about memories of our family. It was the day I looked forward to more than any other day of the year. My mom passed away suddenly in December so it will be my first Mother's Day without her. I have to admit that it brings tears to my eyes as the day gets closer. This year we will all gather at my mother's house like we always do and even though there might be tears, we will celebrate her life with the foods she loved to bake and eat and in our hearts know that she is with us.

For years I would always go out of town to visit my mother at a family gathering. But she passed away a few years ago, so now my hubby & children usually take me out to lunch and I get gifts and flowers. With any luck they'll CLEAN while I lounge in bed.

Will probably stay at home and my son usually buys me a lovely Mother's day card so there is nothing more I can long for. Hoping for a nice quiet Day with lots of love and a hug. electricisland(at)gmail.com

I spend Mother's Day honoring my mom whom I lost to cancer. I take time to think of all the good years we had together, and how she took such loving care of us as we were growing up. I enjoy looking at photos of her over the years. I usually pick get some sweetpea flowers and make a special bouquet in her honor.

My mom has battled cancer twice and received another clean bill of health, so I plan to make her day extra special. Morning at the spa, then shopping and new outfits, hair and a nice dinner out and a movie of her choice!

For 71 years I have spent the day with my Mother. Little did I know last year I would not be able to hug her and share laughter this Mother's Day. She is in my heart and her pure love will remain with me always! This year I wanted a quiet Mother's day but...our day will be spent with our children and grandchildren joining us for a Barbeque and remembering their Grandmother!

My mother lives completely across the country from me, so we usually just call. But when I was a kid, I would make her breakfast in bed (pancakes, the limit of my culinary abilities), and we'd find something to do in the area.

I always visit my mother and then spend the day out playing with my husband and children. This year I'm going to have to be at work all day so I will visit my mother after work but that all for this year.Thanks!lisalmg25 at gmail dot com

Mother's day has only applied to me for two years - I'm a later then sooner mom. If I'm lucky my husband will take us out but I won't count on it, it will take him aay from his World of Warcraft game. His mom did send me a sweet gift and told how wonderful a mom I am and thanked me for taking care of her grandson so well!

I will call my mom of course - but I do the flowers thing on my b'day - which of course is all thanks to her.
